November 13, 1917.

The Tuesday Club met on November 13 in the lower hall,
Mrs.Rees presiding. After the reading of the records notice
was given of the Christmas cards which would be on sale for the
benefit of the Red Cross after the meeting. Mrs.Rees also read
a notice from the committee having in charge the patriotic enter-
tainment on November 23, and asked for volunteers to assist in
providing refreshments that evening for the young men who are to
assist. A generous response was given.

The President also read an appeal from the committee on
home hospitality for soldiers and sailors, Mrs.George W. Wheelwright,
chairman, asking any who were willing to entertain men in their
homes to hand in their names.

Attention was called to the work which had been done this
summer in the tent on Boston Common for the enlisted men, and
for the expense of which there is now a deficit. The Club voted
that five dollars be contributed toward this expense.

Mrs.Rees then presented Mr.Robert Cushman who briefly out-
lined the work being done at home abroad among the soldiers
and sailors by the Young Men's Christian Association, with special
reference to the attempt being made during the current week to
raise a fund of $35,000,000 for this work.

The following candidates were by vote of the
club admitted to membership: -
Mrs. John M. Minton Mrs. Atlea L. Percy
Mrs. Joseph T. Mooney Mrs. W.E.Ferris
